In October 2015, the premiere of the 12-episode film Queen of Beauty took place on Rossiya-1 TV channel. The actors and roles of the project narrated the fate of a fictional woman who managed to become a supermodel in the Soviet Union (of course, as much as possible). What bindings, according to the plot, did the main character fall into and did she manage to pass all the tests with honor?
“Beauty Queen”: actors and roles (“Russia-1”), short story
TV channel "Russia-1" - almost a champion in the annual number of premieres. Almost every month, the television company presents something new. Among such high-profile premieres was the serial film “Queen of Beauty”. Actors and roles, photos, a short plot - all information about the tape was widely covered in the press. Who this time became the heroine of an entire epic?
We are talking about the provincial girl Katerina Panova, who has been dreaming since her youth about the career of a fashion model. According to the classics of the genre, the main character constantly gets in trouble and misfortune, but she still wins her “happy ticket” and fulfills her old dream.
With the advent of the popularity of problems, only added: competition and envious, surveillance of the NKVD, the need to sacrifice something important in order to get to the next show. By the end of the film, the situation worsens to the point of impossibility: a woman is placed in a psychiatric hospital, where she is trying to commit suicide. However, to the delight of the audience, everything is decided at the last moment in a prosperous direction: Katerina Panova runs abroad, gets married, gives birth to a child and begins a new life.
“Beauty Queen” (TV series): actors and roles: Karina Andolenko
Karina Andolenko is now the main "sufferer" of Russian television cinema. She wanders from film to film, playing the same role, only her heroines have different names. Karina’s characters are constantly oppressed and mocked at them in every way, but they endure and ultimately receive the most miraculously desired.
Karina is from Kharkov. Since childhood, she played in amateur performances, and when the hour “X” struck, she decided to enter the theater. Andolenko showed herself well in the entrance exams and was accepted to the Moscow Art Theater School.
The actress received her first major role in 2009 in the film Roses for Elsa. Then there were central characters in the projects Rowan Waltz, Rich Masha and The Illusion of Hunt. The heroines of Karina are usually complaisant, compliant and because of this fall into different troubles.
Katerina Panova, whose role Andolenko played in the Queen of Beauty, is also naive. The girl is poorly versed in people, believes every word. Usually takes the position of “victim”, not the attacker. And if something happened well in Katerina’s life, it was only by pure chance.
Pavel Priluchny as Felix Krutsky
The series “Beauty Queen”, the actors and roles of which were discussed for a long time after the premiere, was included in the filmography of Pavel Priluchny. Fans of the actor probably did not expect to see him in a similar role: his hero in the series is modest, honest and even romantic, because he fell in love with Katerina at first sight and zealously defended his right to marry her.
But after marriage, the problems have only just begun. Katerina was afraid to give birth to a child, because it could affect her career. Then unflattering rumors spread about the girl, and then completely compromising images fell into Felix’s hands. In the series finale of the hero of Priluchny, a car crashes to death after a quarrel with his wife.
Everyone is used to seeing Pavel Priluchny in a slightly different role. Either he plays an aggressive Doctor in Gamers, then the rich spoiled son of a businessman, or simply a villain or a notorious womanizer. It turns out that the actor’s touching characters are also good.
Anastasia Zadorozhnaya as Marianna Nechaeva
In the film “Queen of Beauty”, the actors and roles of which transfer us to the USSR of the 60s, there is another colorful character - film actress Marianna Nechaeva.
This girl was born in a wealthy family and never knew a denial in anything. She has a good career, and indeed life is arranged. However, in her personal life, Marianne fails: first, Felix rejects her (he marries Katerina), then it turns out that the new lover has a legal wife.
The role of Marianne was played by Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, a graduate of GITIS. Most of all, viewers know the girl by the role of an athlete in the franchise “Love in the Big City”.
Other role performers
Vladimir Zherebtsov, Alexander Tyutin, Elena Starostina - all these artists also starred in the TV series “Queen of Beauty”.
Actors and roles in the project looked a bit caricatured. For example, the Stallions again appeared in the image of a "scoundrel scoundrel." A terrible character could not be invented. His hero Valery Zubov set up and sat down everyone who could only be set up in this film.
Alexander Tyutin, known for the films “Investigator Tikhonov” and “Lyudmila Gurchenko”, played the role of Felix’s father. And the image of the mother-in-law of the main character was embodied on the screens by Elena Starostina ("Bad Blood").
